I get many, many requests for information regarding
Whitwell and its residents past and present, and sometimes we are able to help
but sometimes not. I have put those requests onto a new page and will
continue to add to it as these requests come in. Please take a look and
let us know if you can help. This page can be accessed from the
Enquiries page or from
here.

Mike Cook from Chiswick London has sent me two old Parish
Magazines. One from 1942 and the other from 1946. I have scanned
them in. He also sent the obituary of Mr JT Lawson of Hodthorpe.
This is the final page of the January document.

Michael said, "I
should explain that my ancestors on my mother's side come from Whitwell - the
family was called Lawson, and my mother was Lilian Sarah Lawson. My uncle, Jack
Lawson, is mentioned in the Jan 1942 edition as serving with HM Forces. My
father's family - Cook - came from Creswell."
